FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to novel organosilicone compositions and, more particularly, to silicone compositions having a carboxyl functional group thereon.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

While some carboxyl functional organosilicones are known, they are generally difficult and expensive to prepare and the commercial use thereof has therefore been limited. Heretofore, no convenient method for directly preparing polysiloxanes containing functional carboxylic acid groups is known and indirect routes for their preparation have generally been used, such as hydrosilylation of an unsaturated ester followed by hydrolysis, or alternatively, by hydrolysis of nitrile-containing silicone fluids. However, polysiloxanes containing one or more functional groups such as amino and diamino functional groups are well known and have been used in a variety of commercial applications, but none of such polysiloxanes also contain functional carboxyl groups or provide an amphoteric class of organosilicones. Accordingly, the development of a method for readily and more directly preparing polysiloxanes containing one or more functional carboxyl groups would be desirable and it would be particularly advantageous if such method employed readily available silicone materials such as amino or diamino functional polysiloxanes for preparing not only a variety of carboxyl functional polysiloxanes including an amphoteric class of capped or uncapped organosiloxanes and organosilicone derivatives thereof as well.

While, as indicated, certain polysiloxanes containing functional carboxylic acid groups and methods for preparing the same have heretofore been suggested, there is no disclosure or suggestion of the novel carboxyl functional silicone compositions or the method of preparing the same described in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,596,061; 5,807,955 and 6,100,358, whose contents are incorporated by reference herein.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In accordance with the present invention there are provided novel capped or uncapped polysiloxanes comprising a class of carboxyl functional polysiloxanes including an amphoteric class of such polysiloxanes which may be represented by the general formula:

wherein at least one R₁ is a pyrrolidone-containing carboxyl or ester functional group or salt derivative thereof as shown; F₁ is linear or branched alkylene of 1-12 carbon atoms, preferably a linear or branched alkylene of 1-4 carbon atoms including methylene, propylene and isobutylene ; F is linear or branched alkylene of 1-10 carbon atoms, preferably ethylene and isopropylene; R₂ is as defined below; R₅ is hydrogen, alkyl, preferably lower alkyl (C₁₋₆), or an alkali metal; and B is —NR₉, wherein R₉ is hydrogen or lower alkyl (C₁₋₆) and further wherein n² is 0 or 1;

R₂ can be the same or different and can be selected from alkyl, aryl and olefinic (vinyl);

a can be an integer from 0 to 50,000; and

b can be an integer from 0 to 100;

It is evident from the general formula above that the polysiloxane compositions of the present invention have one or more pyrrolidone-containing functional carboxyl or ester group(s) or salt derivative thereof linked terminally, laterally or both terminally and laterally to the silicone (polysiloxane) chain through a hydrocarbon linkage which contains at least one nitrogen atom.

Useful polysiloxanes include uncapped polysiloxanes containing one or more carboxylic acid groups and/or the ester derivatives thereof. For such uncapped polysiloxane compositions at least one R₁ is an oxygen containing group of the formula —OR₁₁, wherein R₁₁ is hydrogen or a lower alkyl (C₁₋₆).

The polysiloxane compositions including the amphoteric class of polysiloxanes according to the present invention are useful, for example, for reducing the friction of petroleum flow through pipelines and as additives for personal care products as well as being precursors for a wide range of personal care products, fiber treating agents and the like which impart such advantages as improved feel, substantivity, reduced surface tension, and anti-stick characteristics.

The novel functional carboxyl polysiloxanes and particularly the amphoteric class of polysiloxanes of the present invention surprisingly and unexpectedly can be readily and directly prepared by the reaction of corresponding silicone compositions or fluids having one or more functional diamine groups, each of which group(s) must contain a primary amine group, with up to about one equivalent, preferably about stoichiometric quantities, of itaconic acid or its ester per primary amine group portion of the functional diamine group(s) at an elevated temperature for the time sufficient for substantially all of the itaconic acid or its ester to react with the functional primary amine group(s). In general from about 0.5, preferably, from about 0.9 to about 1.1 equivalents of itaconic acid or its ester per functional primary amine group is reacted with the silicone fluid wherein substantially all the itaconic acid and preferably all the functional primary amine group(s) is reacted and a polysiloxane composition with at least one pyrrolidone-containing functional carboxyl group(s) and/or its ester or salt is formed.

The reaction can be carried out neat or in an inert solvent such as alcohol, hydrocarbon solvent, chlorinated hydrocarbon and the like, as desired, in general, at elevated temperature up to 175° C., preferably from about 90° C. to about 130° C. The reaction readily proceeds and generally complete reaction of the itaconic acid or its ester with the available functional primary amine groups and cyclization to form a pyrrolidone group will occur in from about 1 to 5 hours. Routine analytical techniques for amine and acid values as well as monitoring viscosity, color and water and/or alcohol evolution can be used to determine completion of the reaction.

Suitable functional diamine silicone fluids for use in accordance with the practice of the invention, having one or more functional diamine group(s) that contain a primary amine group, and which may be linked terminally, laterally or both terminally and laterally as desired via an alkylene linkage to silicon are well known and are available commercially, for example from Dow Corning, General Electric and Shin-Etsu. Exemplary suitable functional diamine silicone fluids are silicone fluids having one or more aminoalkylaminoalkylene functional groups include, for example, aminoethylaminopropyl functional silicone fluids such as KF 393 from Shin-Etsu and aminoethylaminoisobutyl functional silicone fluids such as X2-8107 and Q2-8220 from Dow Corning. While the equivalent weight of the silicone fluids or compositions which may be employed in the preparation of the pyrrolidone-containing carboxyl functional polysiloxanes of the present invention is not critical, and suitable compositions may have equivalent weights of 15,000 or even higher, although silicone fluids having equivalent weights from about 500 to about 12,000 are in general preferred.

The organosilicone compositions are substantially compatible with the itaconic acid or ester derivative thereof and forms a homogeneous reaction mixture therewith. Itaconic acid (methylene succinic acid) is a compound of the formula:

CH₂═C(COOR₉)CH₂COOR₉

wherein R₉, which can be the same or different, is hydrogen or lower alkyl (1-6 carbon atoms).

The compound itaconic acid is available commercially from Rhone Poulenc and Pfizer Chemicals Division whereas ester derivatives thereof are available from Morflex Inc., Greensboro, N.C. The compounds are produced by known fermentation techniques although chemical synthesis methods are also known.

Silicone-containing amidoamines of the invention are readily prepared by the above coupling reaction from the novel polysiloxane compositions of the present invention having one or more pyrrolidone-containing functional carboxyl group(s) as hereinabove described.

The novel pyrrolidone-containing carboxyl functional polysiloxane compositions including the amphoteric class of polysiloxanes and the amidoamine derivatives thereof display many of the well known properties of silicone such as emolliency, detackification, smoothing, lubrication and sufactancy properties while, in addition, making them suitable as precursor reactors for the preparation of a variety of silicone-containing derivatives. In this connection, the novel compositions of the invention are suitable for the preparation of silicone-containing compositions which exhibit the unique property of water-dispersibility or solubility and substantivity.

It is therefore a further aspect of the invention to use the novel compositions of the invention, for example, in cosmetic and the like personal care preparations, especially in preparations for skin treatment and hair care.

In addition, these novel compositions demonstrate useful hair “dressing” characteristics.

Among other advantages of the novel carboxyl functional polysiloxanes of the invention are their usefulness as paper and textile sizing and lubricating agents; treating agents for fillers, paper and plastics; anticorrosion agents for metal products, and the like.

228 grams of the above polysiloxane fluid (0.3 Equivalents) is admixed with 39 grams (0.3 moles) of Itaconic Acid in a reaction vessel. External heat is slowly applied to the reaction vessel bringing the reaction mixture to a temperature of about 120° C., whereupon an exotherm occurs raising the temperature to 130° C. The reaction mixture is stirred at about 125° C. for 3 additional hours. With the Itaconic acid being uniformly dispersed in the reaction mixture. A clear yellow viscous oil is prepared which does not flow at room temperature. The reaction product flows when heated and is readily soluble in ethanol.

The acid value of the reaction product is 57.5 (theoretical 64.3) while the alkali number is 64.3, (theoretical 64.3) confirming that there is the presence of carboxyl groups and amine groups on the product.

Another sample of the polysiloxane fluid used in example 1 is used in this example.

38 grams (0.05 moles) of the above siloxane fluid is admixed with 6.5 grams (0.05 moles) of Itaconic acid. The mixture is heated to 120° C. whereupon an exotherm occurs raising the temperature to 130° C. The reaction mixture is heated and maintained at a temperature of 120-130° C. for 3 hours.

There is then added to the reaction mixture 15.3 grams (200% excess) of dimethylamino propylamine (DMAPA) and the reaction mixture becomes very fluid. The temperature is raised to 165° C. where it is held for three additional hours while volatiles are collected. The reaction mixture is subjected to vacuum stripping to remove excess DMAPA at a reaction vessel temperature of 100° C. and a vacuum of 30 mm. The alkali number of the reaction product residue is 135 corresponding to an equivalent weight of 831.
